Hello, I come from /a/ and bring peace. For some reason, I've been neglecting /m/ all the time, but now is the time for me to check out some good mecha anime.

These shows have I already watched, and based on those, what will I like?

>FMP! and the sequels
The third season (TSR) was fucking awesome, more like that please.
>TTGL
Way overhyped, but still fun nonetheless.
>NGE
I liked it at facevalue, nothing more.
>Macross Plus
Really good.
>Code Geass
Not really much fan of this, I'll rather pass on shows like this.

Also 8th MS team.

Yeah, GunXSword was great.

How about giving the Getter shows a go? (Also manga is superior)

>> No.4447631

8th MS team added to my list.

Is Gunbuster the same as Top wo Nerae?

Eureka 7 is also good!

Stay away from the movie, though.

It probably is, but I'm tired of the main character being a noisy brat, or in general a young kid in that big machine. That's partly why I liked Macross Plus so much.

I'll probably give it a shot later, but for now I think I'll go for Gun X Sword and then 8th MS team.

>> No.4447662

If you liked TTGL, then you should definately watch Getter Robo, cause TTGL is basically a ripoff of Getter.

Same goes for Eva and Ideon.

Kotetsushin Jeeg is a awesome anime as well.

Stormbringer is such a awesome opening song.

Fafner and Betterman are solid too.
If you liked Saint Seiya you'll also probably like B't X.
GaoGaiGar's pretty awesome as well.

Random anon's recommendations.

1. Legend of the Galactic Heroes: The Kaiser of Anime; no seriously. This is the best series you will see on a screen; live action or animated, western or asian, this is the best. Man up and watch it; I don't care that it's 110 episodes, not to mention three films and two gaiden series. Every episode will make you cry in joy.

2. Patlabor: The Mobile Police: You got the main series which culminated in a 16 episode OVA and the film timeline which starts with an OVA and has three films; there's also a manga and a short special, mini-Pato. The series has a lighter tone while the OVA and films are more serious. But it's all good, baby; the characters, the humour and the mechs are all wonderful.

3. AT VOTOMS and Armor Hunter Merrowlink: Great 'real-robot' series and although the main series is a little dated, it's still better then most other series. There's a lot of OVAs, prequels and the such and a spin-off; Armor Hunter Merrowlink which is about a guy with an anti-mech rifle and a spike bayonet taking on mechs, which is bad-ass.

>> No.4447722

>>4447719
4. MS IGLOO 2: The Gravity Front; some elements of the supernatural, but for the most part it's those peole that MS Gundam don't really focus on; 3 episodes and in 3D, so it's a little different, but it's short enough to get through in a day, so I'd check it out. First episode is Infantry vs Mobile Suits, second is Tanks vs Mobile Suits and the third is Guntanks versus everything. You want gritty stuff? This is as gritty as it gets.

5. The 08th MS Team: as you can probably tell, I prefer real robot to super, but then everyone focuses on super robot. More focus on the grunt mechs and the such, bit of a silly love story involved, but it's not too bad. Good action, blend of drama, action and humour and the mutherfuckin' EZ-8. Pretty solid and brings the whole Gundam thing down to Earth. Sorry.

6.Bubblegum Crisis: 2033: female A-team in power armour versus 80s Cyberpunk corporation. It's a bit more complex then that, but that's the gist of it; animation has aged very well, the action is good and interesting with some great stories and solid characters. One potential problem, however; it's 80's as fuck; the music, design and style of the series places in right in the late 80s; so if you can't stand that sort of thing, at least try the first episode, because it's still very good. Only 8 episodes as well (which is good for people getting into mech stuff, but bad for fans of the show, like me. There's also a full series remake; 2044, but I haven't seen that yet.

That should keep you busy for a while. There's other stuff as well, like Metal Suit Panic Madox, FLAG and the such, but I'm not writing out summaries for every series and OVA under the sun.

Dougram kicks ass, too.

>> No.4448034

>>4447984
Completely unrelated to the thread, but whenever I see Dougram I remember a specific event back before I knew much about anime in general.

This is back when I first found out that not all animated material was made in the Middle East. A couple of friends and I had this one video which was basically two hours of different /m/ anime OPs and EDs, ranging from Tetsujin 28's first TV series all the way to GaoGaiGar's TV series.

We used to come up with random plot summaries based on what the OPs contained. For some reason, we decided that Dougram was a show about a very bored postal service worker in post apocalytpic Australia. After having recently watched the show, I've begun to wonder how we even came close to that conclusion.

No real reason for posting this, just sharing random stories of nostalgia.

One of us came up with the concept that Zambot 3 was a really fucked up show about people dying. He felt really bad about that after actually watching the show much later on.

if you don't like CG, I don't recommend gundam 00. it's kind of similar.

also, the best to-watch list IMO

Well, we never really developed it as more than just a throwaway joke between friends. Here's a list of some examples that I still remember.

>Danguard Ace.
We thought it was about spreading Islam in space. Don't ask why, we weren't really sure ourselves.

>Voltes V, Govarian, and Great Mazinger.
We thought these were Chinese knock offs. We didn't really know the difference between Japanese and Chinese at the time, so we just assumed they were knock offs of Combattler V and Mazinger Z respectively.

>VOTOMS.
To quote a friend, "This looks really fucking girly. I bet it was made for women, or some shit."

>Grendizer, Astroganga.
No need for comments. We just got up and danced to the childhood nostalgia.
